Detailed description of the geology, topography and terraces of the Danube Bend was presented in Chapter 3. “Traditional” terrace ages concerning this area were derived from “relevant” data of the neighbouring valley sections, as lack of datable material prevented the Danube Bend terraces from setting up a more reliable chronological frame. Application of a new dating method was necessary to qu...

In phylogenomic analysis the collection of trees with identical score (maximum likelihood or parsimony score) may hamper tree search algorithms. Such collections are coined phylogenetic terraces. For sparse supermatrices with a lot of missing data, the number of terraces and the number of trees on the terraces can be very large. If terraces are not taken into account, a lot of computation time ...

A numerical analysis of the ripening of multilayer islands on Cu(111) shows that the EhrlichSchwoebel barrier for interlayer mass transport is independent of the terrace width w as long as w . wc ­ 14 6 2 Å, but vanishes for w , wc. The critical width wc corresponds exactly to the terrace width below which the surface state is pushed above the Fermi level due to quantum confinement. The Ehrlich...

We adopted a novel method to tune the terrace width of Si(111) substrate by varying the direction of heating current. It was observed that the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (UMA) of Fe films grown on the Si(111) substrate enhanced with decreasing the terrace width and superimposed on the weak six-fold magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Furthermore, on the basis of the scanning tunneling microscopy (...

Mapping in the Homs region of Syria has revealed a hitherto unrecognized staircase of at least 12 gravel terraces of the upper Orontes River. The terrace gravels overlie Pliocene lacustrine marl and have been calcareously cemented into conglomerates, sometimes interbedded with cemented fine-grained alluvium. A tentative dating scheme, based on modelling the regional-scale surface uplift that ha...

STM images show that vicinal Au(788) surfaces are made up of a uniform array of (111)-oriented terraces of similar width ( approximately 3.8 nm). This uniformity makes it possible to study the electronic structure of the resulting step superlattice by angle-resolved photoemission. We show that for this terrace array the surface state appears to be broken up into one-dimensional quantum-well lev...
